moto on murs

Post by Batman »

looking to setup a murs setup using moto radios. looking for two watt vhf ht's and mobile/base radios that will work on the two wide-band channels 154.570/600. looking for oldschool radios that fall under the exception for specific murs type acceptance.

i am thinking sabers set to two watts, but i am not sure about mobile/base.

i would want to mount the radio at the base of a stationmaster in a weather proof housing using a (/\/\) dc/tone remote

the mobiles would have 5/8th wave whips.
Thank You,

Robert

i was looking for which moto radio would work on the 154 freq's and be legal.

of course i am guessing a saber set for two watts and placed in an sva would make a great base station and mobile.

but can a dc remote be setup on an sva?

and the station master can be 35 ft up since it is 21 ft. don't believe the fcc will bark over on or two feet. unless i find a 30ft tower and stick a mast in it to meet the specific height requirement.
Thank You,

Robert

HT1000 turned down to 2 watts. Works fine on both 151 and 154 channels if programmed properly.
